نہیں ہے نظام ہلاکت میں کچھ دم
ضرورت ہے انسان کی امن عالم

صدا آرہی ہے میرے دل سے پیہم
کہ ہو گا ہر اک دشمن جاں کا سر خم

Existing govt interventions in agri may not be working, but suggestions that the sector should be entirely liberalized are a bit odd. Producing crops is not the same as producing any other commodity, and no country in the world treats it that way. dawn.com/news/1830526/s…

Germans officials wake up every day these days and ask themselves 'how can I connect more deeply with my Nazi roots today'?

This crazy headline is such a perfect encapsulation of the manufactured hysteria being used to silence dissent on Israel in the US.

Why are Pakistan Medical & Dental Council & Government of Punjab still silent about Avicenna? Are they waiting for more bodies to pile up before taking action against private medical institutions abusing & extorting students to death with impunity?

Wrote this thread 6 years ago after seeing evidence of abuse by the pathologically authoritarian owners of Avicenna. Found out today there have been multiple student suicides at the college since. It is beyond belief how much abuse of power we allow unchecked in this country.

Have been hearing horror stories about admin for years, including physical punishments & brazen extortion. Now hearing of another student's death by cardiac arrest after being denied sick leave. There needs to be an investigation & Pakistan Medical & Dental Council needs to act now.

Infuriating that Capital Development Authority, Islamabad. has left the E11 flyover blocked months after completion, causing a daily bottleneck on Margalla Rd that adds 15-20min for a 1min turning. Not only do they spend billions on these monstrous vanity projects, their incompetence adds to public misery.

Screaming 'shouting is not a discussion' while ordering Pakistani students to be thrown out of an event in their own country for daring to call out his govt's support for genocide. What ugly imperial arrogance. More power to Progressive Students’ Collective students.
